Little Lives

If you’ve played Life Quest 2: Metropoville, you will see some similarities with this game but it adds some additional features that are pretty charming. The driving system is goofy and enjoyable in small doses. The little quests your friends send you on are at times endearing and others aggravating (just like real life, lol!) As others have said, content is slim right now but the product as it is now was worth the price for me, a huge life sim fan.

I do wish the dev made a way to cancel the “drive to” animation (other than hitting escape and pausing the game), as sometimes I click a place and then decide I want to do something else. Also an “arrival time” estimate would be great when clicking-to-drive. Additionally, being able to check job requirements without travelling to the employment centre would make life easier!

So this is really an adorable, simple and easy game. I liked that there was a driving aspect to the game, which I don’t normally enjoy in sim/management games. The driving didn’t feel as touchy or sensitive as normal driving games, but the biggest portion I enjoyed was being able to press space and allow the game to drive to locations for me when the cuteness of the driving wore off (again, not normally a fan of driving aspects in games). The game itself is really straight forward and a bit too easy. You have to eat, sleep, rest and socialize. Getting a job is the major aspect of this game and it’s quite easy to move up financially (don’t need to get a bank loan at all). I was able to get 2 full adult degrees plus over $10k in about 6 hours. So “beating” the game doesn’t take very long. It would be nice if they added more things to do or balanced out the stats a bit to make it a slight challenge.

Real Farm – Gold Edition

Real Farm – Gold Edition

I am sorry to say this but this is by far the worst farming simulator game out there. I got a stroke trying to take part in the traffic with a goddamn harvester that I HAD TO ATTACH THE TOOL TO… The tools by the way feel like they are attached with a bunch of rubber dildos.

If you are going to name a game REAL FARMING, I expect some reality like there is no harvesting in rain as it is supposed to clog the machine.

Seriously hope this is not the final form of the game and the developer(s) will venture out to a real farm to get more ideas or just please play some Farming Simulator 19 to get a basic idea.

Isolation Story

Isolation Story

I received a copy of this game from the dev to Let’s Play it and I really enjoyed my time with it. This is a survival game heavily inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic where you need to survive for 7 days until a vaccine can be created and deployed.

You’ll need to manage your character’s health, hunger and happiness. It’s oddly addictive and has a surprising amount of stuff to do given how small the city is. Including tons of achievements to try and complete, and even a way to time travel.

Farm Life: Natures Adventure

Farm Life: Natures Adventure

https://youtu.be/QM1K4mrq2zE

Poorly optimised android port and/or an unfinished port. But as not in early access approach this as a full game.

Way too buggy, including game ending faults at the moment. Not sure the game will contain enough levels to even compete within the genre with the gameplay coming across as cookie cutter. The engine feels clunky and delayed.

The fun of the game is not coming from challenge or story for me.

The tutorial shouldn’t even exist as it explains the easier sections of the game, then does not even touch on the more complex areas and the help files aren’t helpful.

Real player with 6.9 hrs in game

Veeeeery clunky controls and game breaking bugs. The first time the game hicked up completely, couldn’t even get past entering all the data for creating the farm. On the second save I bought a milktool by accident and every NPC now says “Thanks for buying that.”, rendering me unable to purchase anything. I also have one strawberry seed I can plant endlessly. Developer, try harder please.

Fishing: North Atlantic - Enhanced Edition

Fishing: North Atlantic - Enhanced Edition

Ok so where do I start. The game title is fishing north Atlantic, well I’ll put it simple this does not show how we fish in eastern Canada what so ever. They basically took the equipment from Barents sea and put it here. we do not use that equipment it’s completely different. The lobster well the traps are wrong no one uses those anymore , no idea why they would put old fashioned traps and not the new style traps.

The crab fishing well let’s just say I guess they thought Alaska was part of the north Atlantic and made replicas of two deadliest catch boats the saga and northwestern. Like that’s a insult to me period. Iam a commercial fisherman from eastern Canada and that is no way near how crab is done around here period. I have no idea what they were thinking.

Edit: With the latest update the game looks brand new! Waves are now the best of any game I’ve played, and the storms and sunrise/sunsets are incredible.

The short and sweet: cool premise and setting, nice relaxing gameplay with a lot of glitches. The devs are really attentive, hard working, and passionate. One of my all time favorite games.

Huge thank you to the devs for this absolute gem!!!

This game is what I’ve been looking for, I found out about the deadliest catch PC game but it was only on disk and hard to find. For a long time I simply dreamed of a game like this. Fishing: Barents Sea came out, very mixed reviews in the beginning so I steered clear. This game launched, in an allbeit troublesome state.

I can’t recommend this game at the moment.When it’s finished it will be OK.I will be reluctant to buy any game in future on first release.Basically you are paying to test the game.Wait until the game has been updated as mentioned in other threads and then buy it.

Real player with 15.3 hrs in game

Its a bit rough around the edges but the devs are very responsive to feedback and eager to fix bugs. Some parts were a bit of a drag and some parts really engaging especially the end. Overall I enjoyed the experience. I think its value for money especially considering the recent price drop.

The good stuff

I thought the world building and lore were excellent; really immersive. Voice acting was decent and graphically its very nice. I also had no problems with performance and there was a recent patch to improve performance even more.

Village Monsters

2 Hour First Impressions: A lot of things are still missing but that’s what early access is for and obviously a lot of time and effort has already gone into this. It’s incredibly charming on its own already and the monsters remind me of fond memories of exploring and talking to monsters in Undertale.

For sure gonna be keeping this one. Can’t wait to see it fully finished.

This is a VERY casual experience. No pressure to do much of anything but explore and goof off. The characters are unique enough that they feel different from other games like this that I’ve played in the past, and can get down right weird, but in clean, entertaining ways. That being said, as is, the game still feels just a bit bare bones, in that interactions with the NPC’s is limited to chatting with them, and buying selling from the shops. Mo tasks/favors included YET, there is however ample evidence that the developer will eventually work that in. What has been programmed as is feels pretty solid, and there is just enough to do to make the game worth playing right now. Odds are more will come soon.

Big Ambitions

Big Ambitions

Prologue

_“It’s been 3 months since grandma died. I know that I’m an adult now that I’m 18 years old, but still… It feels so scary that no one is there to take care of stuff.

There’s one good thing though. At the funeral, my uncle Fred asked me for my phone number. He said he wanted to help me get on my feet. I don’t really know him, but I guess he’s family after all.”_

Game Description

Big Ambitions is a roleplaying business simulator situated in the open-world city of New York. You start the game as a young kid surviving in the big apple. You have big ambitions for money and success, but you’re starting with absolutely nothing.

Gameplay

In Big Ambitions, you control a single person in the middle of the bustling metropolis of New York City. Your goal is to achieve financial success in various ways. Starting at the bottom flipping burgers or collecting garbage to eventually owning and running big businesses and real estate throughout the city.

As you progress, you always need to make sure that you’re getting enough sleep, keeping up with your health, and making sure your happiness is sufficient. Increasing your capital can be trickier than you think. As you will learn, money can’t buy time.

Money making opportunities

We’re still in the process of adding content to the game, but to give you a better understanding of the basics, we put together a list of ways you can make money:

  • Getting a job (cashier, warehouse worker, garbage collector, etc)

  • Running storefront businesses (clothing shops, restaurants, gift shops, etc)

  • Running office-based businesses

  • Buying buildings and renting them out

  • Real estate investments (buying and selling buildings strategically)

  • Investment Funds

Sandbox

Even though Big Ambitions has an interesting story featuring Uncle Fred and other characters, it’s up to you to decide how much you want to listen to them. Everything is available right from the beginning.

Day to day objectives and tasks

In Big Ambitions, you go through days just like in real life. Every day is different, and you’ll have various tasks to handle such as:

  • Sleeping, eating, and exercising

  • Educating yourself with courses and school

  • Recruiting and managing employees

  • Managing business warehouse status (buying and transporting goods)

  • Expanding into new business areas

  • Renovating buildings

  • Managing your vehicle(s). Filling up gas, maintaining the vehicle, etc.

  • Paying taxes

Delivery Guy

Delivery Guy

It has become dangerous to walk on the street, and once you forget to keep social distance you can get the infection from literally anybody even in case you both are wearing masks. So you will have to follow the rules of social distancing while moving across the streets. The length of the distance depends on the level of protection that your mask provides.

At the beginning you are a fat sluggard who experiences, what is more, problems with money. In the pandemic situation the role of a delivery guy’s job has strongly increased. And as you still don’t have any professional skills, this is an ideal choice for you. Because of suffering from overweight you are able only to walk slowly down the street (not run) but after carrying out a number of deliveries you will lose some weight and make some money. If you want to became fit and to deliver your orders rushing along roofs like a parkourer you will have to keep to a healthy diet and visit a gym. It takes quite a big sum of money and to earn it you should work hard.
